Any way to make artifacts respawn quicker?

[Thomas Devlin]

I've always played on singleplayer, it has it's fair share of issues but nothing that can't be worked around with some adjustments, but there's one singleplayer mechanic that's always really bugged me, when playing on a server the artifacts respawn fairly quickly, allowing you grab dozens at a time if you have an otter with you, but unfortunately on singleplayer the respawn timer is cranked up to forty minutes, meaning you have to redo several caves every time you want to fight a boss. I can just grab them from a map like crystal isles, but that feels cheap, plus I still have to grab them one at a time anyway, is there a way to lower this timer so I can stock up on all the artifacts I need in a single cave run?

Best fix I've got for ya is cheat commands - spawning in the # of artifacts you want when you get to the end of the cave. Other options are craftable artifact mods, or playing with more players. When you go into a cave with a group of players, the artifact will respawn nearly instantly based on the number of players there with you.

I've been trying to run the game without cheats or mods, but I am getting pretty close to the end game, once I beat the gamma overseer I'll have experienced pretty much the full game in vanilla, so I might start using mods after that

Not even using Super Structures? Props to you! There are some quality of life mods out there that should be in the base game, but I understand striving for the vanilla experience.

Overseer is just the beginning... Aberration is a whole new beast. Best of luck with your endeavors!

easy fix is to relog in front of the artifact, when you load in theres another one. it only works in single player
